[Moderator Instructions]

**wei ji** , please stick to the specific subject of the OP, that is, the origin of the figure of $2 million. If you wish to discuss whether or not Obama’s credentials are authentic, please open a new thread in Great Debates. This thread is for the purpose of discussing the origin of the figure.

To other posters: please refrain from engaging **wei ji** further on this issue. Again, if you want to debate it, open a thread in GD (or the Pit) and invite him to discuss his views there.

Just a bit of an update.

[The Fact Checker](http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/fact-checker/post/more-birther-nonsense-from-donald-trump-and-sarah-palin/2011/04/11/AFrme2MD_blog.html?hpid=z2) at The Washington Post sourced it to World Net Daily today in discussing Trump and Palin mentioning the figure on the 9th and 10th.

Trump got four Pinocchios, for what it’s worth.
